It reads: "Sleet and snow is expected for upland areas and some lower ground as well overnight and during Thursday morning. Some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services."

Heavy snow has hit parts of Yorkshire once again this morning.

"This will move northeastwards and turn increasingly to snow over the high ground of Wales, parts of the Midlands and parts of northern England overnight and through Thursday morning, with some snow to lower levels later.

"Much of the lower ground will see little if any snow accumulating, but a patchy 1-3 cm is likely in some places, with 5 cm above 200 metres and possibly 10 cm on roads above 300 metres. This warning has been updated to include more of Northern England. There remains some uncertainty in the exact northward extent of the sleet and snow into Thursday morning before it clears eastwards."

A cloudy morning with outbreaks of heavy rain, sleet, and snow. Becoming drier and brighter from the west early in the afternoon, but still perhaps the odd shower here and there. Maximum Temperature 7 °C.

Weather for Thursday night:

A dry night to follow with some clear spells developing across the region, leading to a widespread frost by Friday morning. Minimum Temperature -2 °C.
